When you deleted/reinstalled the Steam game did you delete the My Documents/SH4... folder? If not, you probably had corrupted user info in that area and the new download just picked up the same corrupted user info files again. Corruption in this game can easily occur if you allow Save file overwrites. Try deleting the above folder in your My Documents area... SH4 will create a new one when you restart it and hopefully that will solve your problem. After that don't allow save overwrites... Create a new save name each and every time you save. Delete the old saves in a timely systematic fashion and then you can reuse those names if you wish to retain a system such as SaveGame1, SaveGame2, SaveGame3, etc...
